# Reinstall Axolet

## Reinstall Axolet to a (cloned) machine

To re-install Axolet on a (cloned) machine that has an earlier installation running, complete the following steps.

  1. Log in to the host as root and execute the following commands:
```
 systemctl stop axolet
         rm -r /etc/axolet/
         
```

  2. Follow the regular installation steps described in [Axolet](../../../docs/axoflow/provisioning/axolet/index.md).




## Recover Axolet after the root CA certificate was rotated

  1. Log in to the host as root and execute the following commands:
```
 export AXOLET_KEEP_GUID=y AXOLET_CONFIG_OVERWRITE=y PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
         
```

  2. Run the [one-liner from the AxoConsole **Provisioning** page](../../../docs/axoflow/provisioning/axolet/index.md) in the same shell.

  3. The installation may result in an error message, but Axolet should eventually recover. You can check by running:
```
 journalctl -b -u axolet -n 20 -f
         
```
